The band is most popular for their regression to early 20th century Jazz and Blues, as well as creating cutting edge music for a limited audience on the edge of the galaxy in the Ithassa Region.

History
The Ithassa Five started out as a gigging band in the Sector working in small bars and entertaining for parties and dinners. Their biggest break came from working a small dinner party at the Twilight's Edge. Spotted by Telark, a Ferengi talent scout, they were contracted into three years working with him across the Ithassa Sector and into the Alpha Quadrant.
In 2383, they split from their management after several disputes over profit and venues, ending up back where they started at the Twilight's Edge only now with a lot more fame under their belts and a taste for the big lights.
To show their appreciation for one of their influences, in 2384 they participated in a restoration Festival in Jalanda City, Bajor for the reconstruction of the Jalanda Forum. The Festival lasted just over a week and was one of the biggest gatherings of musical and dance artists of the decade. They raised enough to have the forum restored by the Bajoran Government in Varani's name with a dedication plaque.
They frequently tour at the Twilight's Edge in appreciation for their humble beginnings at the establishment and donate 20% of their earnings from every concert to the Varani Music Academy in Jalanda City, Bajor.
